Sport Initiatives

Djarum Foundation believes that sport and fair competition is a vital part of character building for people everywhere across the world. Sport plays an important element in our health, happiness and well-being. The love of sport transcends national boundaries, creating international ties and improving our understanding of one another on a national and global level.

Our tradition of supporting sports dates back to 1969 with the establishment of the Djarum Badminton Club in Kudus, Central Java. Over the years, the Djarum Badminton Club successfully established a proven track record for developing talented players and turning them into competitive athletes. Djarum Badminton Club athletes have contributed gold medals in major international events including the Olympics, All England, World Championship, Sudirman, Thomas and Uber Cups.

More than 5,000 Badminton athletes have been nurtured since 1969.

Today, Djarum Foundation awards full badminton scholarships to qualified candidates sourced through nationwide auditions.
